A truly unique and “healthy” cookie…made with millet and topped with pine nuts. All natural, with mostly organic ingredients....
Our own Barby the Baker has created this recipe, and makes these cookies from scratch in our KWF Kitchen. Its a cookie with substance!
A little about millet:
Millet is one of the oldest foods known to humans and possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic purposes. It is mentioned in the Bible, and was used during those times to make bread. Millet has been used in Africa and India as a staple food for thousands of years and it was grown as early as 2700 BC in China where it was the prevalent grain before rice became the dominant staple. It is documented that the plant was also grown by the lake dwellers of Switzerland during the Stone Age.
Today millet ranks as the sixth most important grain in the world, sustains 1/3 of the world’s population and is a significant part of the diet in northern China, Japan, Manchuria and various areas of the former Soviet Union, Africa, India, and Egypt.
Millet is full of nutrients your body needs, such as: Magnesium, Calcium, Maganese, Tryptophan, Phoshorus, Fiber, B vitamins, and Antioxidants. The grain acts as a prebiotic to feed important microflora in your inner ecosystem. It also provides serotonin to calm and soothe your moods. It helps hydrate your colon to keep you regular. It is alkaline and is easy to digest.
A little about pine nuts:
Pine nuts can be a potent appetite suppressor. Why? They’re a good source of a polyunsaturated fat known as pinolenic acid. When you eat pine nuts, the pinolenic acid stimulates the secretion of a hormone produced by the intestines known as CCK. CCK sends the signal to your brain that you’re full which turns off your appetite.
Pine nuts are about ten to thirty-four percent protein. They’re also an excellent source of fiber as well as vitamins E, K, niacin, magnesium, and potassium.
Pine nuts are also high in monounsaturated fats, the same “heart healthy” fats that make nuts and olive oil beneficial.
Pine nuts are also high in antioxidants, protecting your cells from damage.

A little bit of background info on our friend Lisa Montgomery, Raw Foodist, Chef, and Author…
In her own words.
This is what led me to start the potlucks and eat 99 percent raw... My food allergies and Candida led me to change my diet about eleven years ago. I went home and threw out or gave away all my packaged foods and anything that I was allergic to or could not eat because of Candida. That throwing out would be the first time of many "cleansings"" of my refrigerator and cupboards... After the initial, overwhelming feeling of "what can I eat?” I started reading everything in sight on health and nutrition and taking numerous cooking classes... I then moved on in my eating journey to macrobiotic within my allergy limitations, to becoming a vegetarian and then about five years ago I started my raw journey. The progression really just happened. I didn't decide one day "oh I am now going to go macrobiotic"...it just evolved.
By day, I am a packaging sales rep. and have been in the packaging world since my second job out of college in 1979... My first degree is in business but because health and nutrition have become my passion, I acquired a certification as a Holistic Health Care Practitioner from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in Manhattan,, NY... I am also an associate certified raw chef and instructor from the Living Light Institute of Raw Foods. Even though I took so many classes through the years I waned to get more knowledge, plus I knew the world is interested in the number of degrees and certifications vs. practical experience.
Fall of 2005 I felt like there was a need to start a monthly raw potluck in my home and in Jan. 2006 I started my first raw potluck in my home with the attendance of 46 people... People have come to my Potlucks from as far away as New York,, New Jersey, Mary land, Delaware and the western part of Pennsylvania... In one year we have attracted world renowned speakers such as Dr. Douglas Graham of FoodNSport and Dr. Brian Clement, Hippocrates... Even Carol Alt, super model, actress, and raw foodist used some of the recipes from my potluckers (including one of mine) in her new raw Cookbook which was released July 3, 2007. We are hosted a family raw expo featuring Ms. Carol Alt and her new book "The Raw 50" on July 28th, 2007 at Victory Park, Royersford, Pennsylvania.
This should tell you where I started and where I am headed... Once you heal your body and stop being so sick that you can barely make it through the day you can work on your emotional side and then on to the spiritual... That is why, what you put in your mouth and how you live your life is so important...
Instead of just existing my goal for myself and others is to "Live Dynamically"...
My goals are
- To make a difference
- To help others to heal their lives
- To love
- To comfort and
- To inspire...
If I have had just a small part in inspiring you to live dynamically then my goal has been met...
Thank you,
Lisa
